You have two anchor tags.

it was referring you to imbed it into the p element.

so we just kind of copy and paste it in this sense to remove the second anchor tag.

The a element is self closing. This means that you don’t need a end tag which you have after cat photos.

i’m still lost, nothing happens even if i delete the second row

5

even by deleting the /a it doesn’t work

Hi!
You need to get rid of this,

<a href="https://freecatphotoapp.com"></a>

This is a second unneeded anchor tag.

Also you’ve closed the first anchor tag incorrectly. All html tags close with the slash in front, not behind.

7

delete the second row and add it to the first one, aka imbedding it into the p element.

so instead of having two seperate anchor tags you only have one

Hello :), just did it but still tells me i need to use one anchor tag

Please copy and paste your current code so I can check it and see what isn’t working.

Hi, please paste your code rather than using an image, it is much easier for people to read. This gif shows how to paste and format code or add back ticks to format it.

(I’m pretty sure I can see the issue in your code, but I am dyslexic and really can’t read text in images well. So please do what the gif explains so I’m sure I won’t mislead you. :sweat_smile:)

Okay, you’re missing the closing anchor tag, please add that before the full stop (the lesson is picky about full stops being part of links). The anchor tag needs a closing tag to work.

This is what it looks like:

still doesn’t work :(( it’s driving me crazy

Web addresses use colons, not full stops (Which I should have noticed earlier oops). Replace the full stop in the link with a colon like this:
